Appalachian State University led all Southern Conference institutions with 39 student-athletes earning academic all-conference recognition during the 2013 fall sports seasons, the league announced on Monday.

Appalachian State’s 39 academic all-conference performers include 11 representatives from women’s soccer, eight from football, seven from women’s cross country, seven from volleyball, four from men’s soccer and two from men’s cross country. Appalachian’s 39 honorees edged Elon (36) and Wofford (35) for tops in the conference while App State easily outdistanced Western Carolina (31) for the most student-athletes recognized among the SoCon’s six public institutions.

To be eligible for academic all-conference recognition, a student-athlete had to enter the fall semester with a minimum 3.3 grade point average, compete in at least half of his/her team’s competitions during the 2013 campaign and have successfully completed 24 credit hours in the previous two semesters.
